Figure 4: Programming option AUTO
Programming devices addresses using
the programmer
Use the FC490ST service tool to program devices on a
loop as an alternative to auto-addressing.
Complete the following steps to program the device
addresses with the FC490ST:
1. Connect the detector to the programmer. If you
need to program a sounder or a module,
connect the programming lead into the AUX
port of the programmer and the other end of
the lead into the device’s programming port.
You cannot address a detector while the
programming lead is plugged in.
2. To switch the programmer on, press and hold
F1.
3. Press F1, F2, F1, F2, F3, and F4 to enter the
password when prompted.
4. Press F2 to enter the address program. The
current address of the device will be shown.
New devices will have a current address of
255.
5. Press F2 to select the write menu option.
6. Press F3 and F4 to change the address to the
required address.
7. Press F2 when the correct address is
displayed. The programmer will display a
message “programmed ok” and then show the
next address.
8. Label the device.
